Battle scene was great for sure. One thing that would have happened they didn't have was boiling water being used by the defenders ( they didn't use oil that much but rather water historically). I thought the boat testudo was cool.

and now to my main comment (don`t read it`s the definition of spoiler!!!)

i`ve just finished the 3rd book ... i guess there are too many surprises waiting in the next books but i feel a little unconfortable with all these resurrections .... Dondarrion , Katlyn Stark .. who`s next? (no wait don`t answer that!!)

book 3 is widely considered the best in the series, though i enjoyed the 5th book the best. Martin broke up book 4 and 5 into sections, which focus on various regions so you go the entire book 4 without any story on many of the main characters and you get a lot of new characters right at the start so it is a bit slow at the beginning. It does pick up though.

So I just got hooked to Game of Thrones. Best days of my life, watching season 1 ( ). I'm waiting for my season 2 DVD to come via ebay right now. I really love the story. I tried tackling the first book, but man. It is quite an intimidating book. Oh well.
